Digestion, secretion, absorption, nutrition: the second volume follows food and fluid on their long journey through the body. Southwood Smith completes his survey of how the living frame sustains itself and what health demands of it. A substantial document of nineteenth-century physiology and the science of keeping well. Continue the tour through the body's quiet chemistry.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
